Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • mana_bear widow main since 2015 (@mana_bear) reported

    my main issue when i rped an overwatch is that wow is the worldbuilding nonexistent. like i'll app a muse and try to make them work but it always feels like a struggle because either their lore doesn't exist or the lore is contradictory

  • ZenoKagemaru Snake Queen Zeno (@ZenoKagemaru) reported

    Another day, another idiot blocked for being a stupid troll. This time, it was yet another smurf-abusing hypocrite pretending as though Overwatch somehow DOESNT have a massive problem with smurfs.

  • mrjb260191 Bedford Enterprises (@mrjb260191) reported

    @FroTheOddFather I don’t think they’ll fix this one in terms of if it’s already happened but their fix might prevent it from happening if you get what i mean it’s annoying it better not happen to my overwatch i love that gun

  • hyugafe Niko Salonen (@hyugafe) reported

    Hey @BlizzardCSEU_EN Where I can reach for network engineering team? I really would like to have some kind of acknowledgment from false positive IPS hits from Overwatch. I don’t suffer from it (anymore) but many others do in Europe and they are powerless to fix it.

  • MrHtech18 MrHtech (@MrHtech18) reported

    @aabidfaiyaz No, overwatch just doesn't launch a window... Trying to find a fix

  • OhMyGothsss SOLID OH MY GOTH❗ (@OhMyGothsss) reported

    @BladezDvbs A game like overwatch where it tries to balence 32 playable characters yet be called a class based shooter and have good balance dosen't work. Tf2 has some dumb balence issues but it's not nearly as bad as overwatch

  • balmung8 Aristotle (@balmung8) reported

    @PatStaresAt Jesus I never had an issue with toxicity in overwatch, I had it super bad in r6 and league but not a whole lot in overwatch... Granted the couple instances I did have in ow were pretty bad

  • NerdGroovy NerdGroovy (@NerdGroovy) reported

    Like, there were barely any lag spikes, likely due to so few people playing Overwatch on Christmas day, but the general latency wasn't much better than usual, though it was a bit better. So I think the shoes made the difference, which is interesting to me.

  • jackyellow97 jy97 (@jackyellow97) reported

    @circlekwestcan Hi why overwatch scratch is blank. When you fix it? I bought Blink for nothing pff!

  • Flint_OW Sla ”King of the Pirates” yer (@Flint_OW) reported

    @waifuhuggerxoxo @ItzTwonkYT @Zrowable I use a g pro wireless and have no problems performing at a T500 level on overwatch, with heavy use (8 hrs a day roughly) I charge 1 time every 5 days or so

  • TinaGoesBoom «ɃØØϻ‼» T. Tina (@TinaGoesBoom) reported

    ~Cross-Over Scenarios.~ Overwatch ― Tina's a resident of Junkertown; possibly an associate of Junkrat&Roadhog's. A mechanic-girl as likely to blow-up things as she is to fix it. She holds the typical Junkertown-Hatred for Omnics and won't hesitate to strip them for scrap metal.

  • Pulce_LL 🎄Jello Hair Pulce 🍭 BLM!! (@Pulce_LL) reported

    Me: wants to play Overwatch before the event ends. Also me: doesn't want to leave Crash 4 until she clears a level.

  • DanteRelapse DanteRelapse (@DanteRelapse) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent fix the overwatch server's , Can't complete the weekly challenge if i keep getting disconnected when im almost about to win!

  • DandyLove_ DandyLove Spams Your Feed (@DandyLove_) reported

    If overwatch players took all of the money they put into smurf accounts into buying a therapist I think the toxicity problem would be improved. ˢᵗᵉʳ ʷᵃˢ ʳᶦᵍʰᵗ

  • LePopcornStore Popcorn Store (@LePopcornStore) reported

    @EliteLupus Gta sa, overwatch and totally reliable delivery service

  • op3njing5 OP3NJING5 (@op3njing5) reported

    Can we just say that Black Ops Cold War POTG system is completely broken as Overwatch POTG system?

  • stowompyyy Stompy (@stowompyyy) reported

  • Elivonders Eljiah Vonders (@Elivonders) reported

  • yosemitevermore Allison ⚔️🐁 (@yosemitevermore) reported

    Does anyone still play overwatch? Is the game still broken? I’m thinking of getting back into it but idk if it’ll be a toxic waste of time

  • m4hirus ollie (@m4hirus) reported

    @tbzies can you fix it so it says overwatch

  • GhasklinTV Ghasklin (@GhasklinTV) reported

    I think my Overwatch is bugged, when I click Reinhardt I automatically take 5000000000000000000000 damage? Anyone else got this issue?

  • Sajallday14 Sajallday@Pain Again (@Sajallday14) reported

    @CG_Sonicboom Fps's with competive focus like overwatch, valorant, and csgo don't have this issue either. There's less fps that have paywalls for maps. Fg's definitely have a problem of accessibility. Not even talking about gameplay, they have bad qol.

  • bakaelf_ Bek 🌸 $4 onlyfans sale (@bakaelf_) reported

    @DerichlovesT usually overwatch actually but I have to fix my rank before my next stream or they’ll clown me lol

  • PrinceNoirCos Prince Noir (@PrinceNoirCos) reported

    My Overwatch has been lagging bad. Anyone else?

  • LoudFlameKing Alex Cline (@LoudFlameKing) reported

    @evilempirekid @TheSmithPlays Dang you really got nothing for Christmas? What region are you in? I don't got much but overwatch is like $15 off places like kinguin and g2a if you're ok with those, I've never had problems with keys

  • Amies259 Amelia / Amy! (@Amies259) reported

    @segabassfisher yeah, i feel like youre at that point with apex as i am with overwatch, youre like "Maybe???" install it then like "nah lmao" tbh tho im getting sick of it, i stick around solely for the characters, the game feels less fun than ever with these battlepass changes (even after fix)

  • TiceWasTaken Tice (@TiceWasTaken) reported

    Anyone wanna help me fix my Overwatch ? My audio is bugged to the point where it’s actually unplayable. I’ve literally tried everything 😭

  • Jebebediah Joob (@Jebebediah) reported
